From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I have not, but I can look into how to do that. What would that do, if I may ask?
it's an instruction set only available in early 12th gen intel chips, so you can usually go into the bios and find settings to turn it off.
It's because Linus really didn't like it.
What benefit would disabling it have for someone such as myself?
it just didn't boot for me when that was enabled
